METHOD OF MAKING AND ATTACHING COLLARS TI) MILITARY BLOUSES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,468, dated November9,1886.

Application filed June 10, 1886. Serial No. 204,711. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN JUDGE, a citizen of the United States, residingat Vvashington,

District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin the Method of Making and Attaching Collars to Military Blouses, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in the method of makingand attaching collars to military blouses; and it has for its objects toprovide a perfect fitting and setting collar. for said blouse. by themeans illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which 7 Figure 1represents a view of the front portion of the pattern; Fig. 2, a view ofa pattern of one of the back pieces connecting the front portion, andFig. 3 a view of a pattern of the collar.

The letter A indicates the front portion of the pattern by which thecorresponding portion of the blouse or garment is to be cut. This isprovided with a series of perforations, a, at the distance of two inchesfrom the forward edge. which is curved or shaped at its forward edge tofit the body of the wearer. The rear edge is also shaped or on rved sothat, in connection with the side piece, 13, and the back portion, itwill accurately fit the sides and back of the wearer. The upper portionof the pattern conforming to that portion of the garment at the neck ofthe wearer in each part of the pattern is cut on a curve, so that whenthe parts of the garment are put together and fastened at the throat ofthe wearer it will form a complete circle.

The letter 0 indicates the pattern of the collar, which is curved, sothat the material cut from it (after being pressed and stretched) willaccurately fit the circular contour of the body of the garment at theneck when secured thereto.

The collarpat-tern is provided with a series of perforations, (I, tomark the fold; also, the body of the pattern contains perforations 0,back of the perforations a, to .mark the location of the buttons, and aseries of perforations, I), under the arm, to mark a place to be cutmore or less to fit the wearer. The pattern is used These objects Iattain part which is attached to the body of the blouse, is termed thestand. The inside piece of the collar is pressed and the stand thereofstretchedtthe cloth being cut on the bias) until the lower edge assumesa curve similar to the outside edge, (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3,)but the curve being in the opposite direction. Then the outside piece ofthe clothis pressed and stretched to conform to the inside piece. Bothare sewed together and attached by the stand to the body of the blouse.This gives the collar a circular appearance, and conforms to the neck ofthe wearer, making a perfect-fitting blouse around the neck.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

The method of making and attaching a collar to amilitary blouse, whichconsists, .first, in cutting two separate pieces of cloth on the bias toconform to the 'colIar-pattern-to wit, an outside piece and an insidepiece; second, in stretching the stand of the inside piece until thelower edge assumes acurve similar to the outside edge, the curve beingin the opposite direction; third, stretching the outside piece toconform to the inside piece, and pressing both to retain the shapesecured; fourth, in sewing the pieces together, and, finally, attachingthe collar thus made to the body of the blouse, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses. I

JOHN JUDGE. Witnesses:
